According to manager Terry Collins, rookie left-hander Steven Matz will start Game 4 of the World Series on Saturday no matter what the outcome of tonight’s game is.
They do not want Matt Harvey pitching on short rest even if the Mets were to lose tonight, making Game 4 an elimination game.
“It’s amazing that I am here in my first season. This is the dream,” Matz said moments ago. “This is what you think about when you’re playing Wiffle Ball in your back yard.”
